SWIM - Women in Mathematics - Summer Workshop for High School Students

SWIM——数学中的女性——高中生暑期工作坊是一个为期10天的工作坊，旨在留住有才华的女学生，并鼓励她们在从高中到大学的关键过渡点上追求科学和数学方面的职业。SWIM计划将有才华的学生聚集在一个密集的研讨会中，在这里他们比通常情况下更早地学习高级数学主题，并在他们自己的研究项目中工作。它旨在展示数学作为一门“活的学科”，激发参与者的求知欲，并传达对这门学科的热情。通过将具有很强数学天赋的女高中生聚集在一起，共同学习和工作，并向她们介绍数学职业发展阶段的女性榜样，SWIM计划鼓励这些学生考虑自己的数学职业。该计划的参与者主要是“即将升学的高年级学生”。他们在全国范围内招募，并根据他们的数学才能进行选拔。上午的课程由两门课程组成，这两门课程比典型的高中课程更高级，性质也不同。下午，两到三人一组的参与者根据课程材料一起进行小型研究项目。在每天下午结束时，所有的参与者都会参加一个“数学中的女性”研讨会，向参与者介绍各种选择从事数学事业的女性，并与她们讨论广泛的问题。在整个研讨会中，参与者与数学系的本科生、研究生和教师进行互动；他们住在校园的一所学院里，因此可以一窥本科生的生活。

SWIM -- Women in Mathematics -- Summer Workshop for High School Students is a 10-day workshop seeking to retain talented female students, and to encourage them to pursue a career in science and mathematics, at the crucial transition point from high school to college. The SWIM program brings together talented students in an intense workshop in which they learn, earlier than is typically the case, advanced mathematical topics, and work on their own research project. It aims to showcase mathematics as a "living discipline", to stimulate the intellectual curiosity of the participants, and to convey enthusiasm for the subject. By bringing together as a group female high school students with a strong talent for mathematics, to study and work together, and introducing them to female role models at further stages in a mathematical career, the SWIM program encourages these students to consider such a mathematical career for themselves.Participants in the program are predominantly "rising seniors". They are recruited countrywide, and selected on the basis of their mathematical talent. The morning sessions of the workshop consist of two courses, which are more advanced and of a different nature than typical high school courses. In the afternoon, groups of two to three participants work together on small research projects based on the material of the courses. At the end of each afternoon all the participants meet for a "Women in Mathematics" seminar, introducing the participants to a variety of women who chose to pursue a career in mathematics, and discussing a wide range of issues with them. Throughout the workshop the participants interact with undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty of the Mathematics Department; they are housed in one of the colleges on campus and thus get a glimpse of life as an undergraduate student.
